New Bottle Policy(As of 7/1/14):
So many customers have asked to refill their Spicy Olive bottles, so we are happy to inform you that The Butler County Health Department has decided to allow the West Chester store to refill customer's bottles. Unfortunately, The Hamilton County Department of Health will not allow bottles to be refilled, so this applies only to the West Chester store.
It is really important that the bottles be clean and dry. We reserve the right to refuse to refill if the bottle appears dirty or to have water in it. Our bottles can be washed in the dishwasher but be aware, If there is moisture in an olive oil bottle, mold will grow in the olive oil, so our policy is for your protection.
The Spicy Olive will give customers $1.00 off their purchase for refilling bottles.
